Retinal Shift - Mikhael Subotzky drawing Yet being able to deal

Yet being able to deal with differences

producing contradictory histories and futures

would find itself embodied in a particular sign

Digital culture has revolutionized the ways in which photographic images can communicate

Retinal Shift - Mikhael Subotzky drawing Yet being able to dealRetinal Shift investigates the practice and mechanics of looking in relation to the history of Grahamstown, the history of photographic devices, and Subotzkys own history as an artist. The works draw on archival portraits from the last century, found surveillance footage, as well as Subotzkys own photographs from various series that he re contextualizes.
